The 1967 Ohio Bobcats football team was an American football team that represented Ohio University in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 1967 NCAA University Division football season. In their tenth season under head coach Bill Hess, the Bobcats compiled an overall record of 6–4 record with a mark of 5–1 against conference opponents, sharing the MAC title with Toledo, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 210 to 152.[1][2] Kent State defeated Ohio in conference play, by a score of 21–14, on September 30, but later forfeited that victory because an ineligible player, junior end Ted Chester, had played in the game for the Golden Flashes.[3] The team played home games at Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio.[4]

Ohio's statistical leaders included Dick Conley with 841 rushing yards, Cleve Bryant with 1,157 passing yards, and Todd Snyder with 629 receiving yards.[5]
